Sip to Stop Domestic Violence at the Downtown Smithfield Wine Walk!

The Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation will host its fifth annual Downtown Smithfield Wine Walk, a wine tasting to raise money for Harbor and the programs Harbor supports, on Friday, November 20, 2015.

The Wine Walk will take place from 5:00-8:30 p.m., when walkers will visit participating businesses in the downtown district to sample a different wine at each of the seventeen participating businesses. Walkers will begin at Harbor’s Pizazz, located at 119 North Third Street in Downtown Smithfield, where tickets will be available for $20 per person. There, walkers will be given commemorative wine glasses and a wristband to wear, which will allow them to taste wines at other businesses.

Businesses participating in the 2015 Downtown Smithfield Wine Walk include Aspect Financial, Bistro on Third, Evans Jewelers, Jewel’s Formals, Julie Anne’s Salon & Spa, Little Brown Jug, Lovely Lady, MedicalTraining.me, The Meeting Place, Memory Lane Frame Studio, Pizazz, Seasons Fine Hats & Accessories, Simple Twist, Simply Bliss Studio, Suzanne Brewer Photography, Tucker Furniture, and We Ship It.

Many of the businesses will be hosting special events in conjunction with the Wine Walk, including extended shopping hours, special sales, giveaways, and entertainment.

“We are so pleased that the Wine Walk has continued to grow each year,” states Sarah Edwards, Executive Director of the Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation. “It is a wonderful event for Downtown Smithfield and its businesses, and we are delighted to bring the community together to raise funds for Harbor to support the incredible work that they do.”
